In case it's not clear, bullseye and bookworm are Debian distribution
codenames, not hostnames. I can't edit my crontab on a newly installed
bookworm system while simultaneously listing my old crontab on the old
bullseye system on the same computer.
The machine is set up to dual boot (currently bullseye and buster),
but not simultaneously!
Even for the same username, the crontab on one computer differs from
that on another, as the machines have different roles.
Cheers,
David.
